My Painted Lower Body Parts are On, Including Aerokit Front Spoiler
OMGoodness Gracious She looks Elegant and Badass...Hyper Happy with the results, just what I had pictured in my mind. All OEM factory parts; Aerokit front spoiler, side sills, and rear valances. Lowered with H&R springs with OEM sized HRE P101 Wheels and Michelin SC2 Tires...oh yeah 700WHP too.
Many thanks to the Owner, Gavin and the Tech's at AutoQuest MotorSports in Ft. Myers and also John formerly of AQ MS. Also a big thank you to Sam at ByDesign for his encyclopedic knowledge of all things P car TT and his tunes. I should have her shipped back to me on this Thursday or Friday...Yippee! PPF going on the new painted bits for sure...looks like Nov. 15th will be the 3 week paint cure date so after that I can get the PPF on and actually driver her on the open roads. Edit: 11/15/2018 Still waiting...the remote Tunes/troubleshooting/datalogging process is more time consuming than I/we expected but things are progressing towards the finish line. The 93 octane tune was pretty close yesterday and Sam thinks the E85 tune will go fairly quickly with our baseline. Got my fingers crossed I will have her back by next Tuesday or Wednesday but the process will dictate the completion date.
Looks great. Do they repaint the original sills and valance, or you have to order new ones?
Thanks...and no the originals are all black urethane and not paintable. You have to order the OEM paintable pieces and have them painted. I got mine at Suncoast parts. I also got the OEM aerokit front spoiler there too...just wish they had the aerokit factory rear spoiler, but those are like finding a needle in a haystack. DS2 does make a factory look alike in CF, so looks like that is on my future shopping list.
Thanks and thank you for the info about orange vs clear...nice tidbit...this is my first P car so I am pretty much a neophyte.
car looks great ! i'm really impressed how quickly you got all your mods finished. a couple more paint options - headlight washers body color and mirror attach points body color (from black ). it will be really tough to keep that front lip from scraping , i want to get mine repainted but know it won't last. enjoy your turbo !

I believe my headlight washers are the body color if I am not mistaken....as to the mirror bases, I just noticed that myself yesterday but I really like how it looks with the black base so they are staying. Right now the only other mod I am pursuing is a rear aerokit wing/decklid. At some point, after some further research, I am planning to get a new Kenwood or Alpine "radio/nav/entertainment" head but still trying to understand the OEM Bose electronics and what the different options are.
As for the aerokit spoiler scraping, especially as my car is lowered now, I hear that Lima Charlie. I live in Cocoa Beach, which is flat as a pancake, and east central Florida in general is notoriously flat, but while my P car has been in the shop the last 4 weeks (I won't get her back til the end of next week, so 5 weeks total) I have been paying attention to where I normally drive. Looks like I will be good to go for all my typical routes/roads/parking lots I use on a regular basis and I have taken note of a couple points of circumvention so I will generally be free of harmful situations. But of course it is the out of the way places that catch you off guard, but I am a bit **** about that stuff so I feel like I will be okay. And as the owner of a 2000 Ford Mustang Cobra R model, which has a very large splitter I am fully in tune with never bumping the spoiler against a curb when parking...so I think I will be okay (famous last words of lowered cars with spoilers...haha)...I am hoping the fact that the aerokit spoiler is about the least aggressive spoiler available will help the cause. Having said that, I did barely scrape the OEM urethane "spoiler" a couple times pulling out of my driveway to my home in Orlando (I spend 99% of my time at the beach condo in Cocoa Beach) so when I take the P car to the Orlando house I will probably need to have a couple 2X8's to place over the gutter curb just to be 100% safe. Anyway I have a plan.
